“"Judicial scrutiny of counsel's performance must be highly deferential." Strickland , 466 U.S. at 689 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 . And "[a] fair assessment of attorney performance requires that every effort be made to eliminate the distorting effects of hindsight, to reconstruct the circumstances of counsel's challenged conduct, and to evaluate the conduct from counsel's perspective at the time." Id. So "a court must indulge a strong presumption that counsel's conduct falls within the wide range of reasonable professional assistance." Knowles [ v. Mirzayance ], 556 U.S. [111] at 124, 129 S.Ct. 1411 [ 173 L.Ed.2d 251 (2009) ], quoting Strickland , 466 U.S. at 689 , 104 S.Ct. 2052 .”
